Dateline:  Lipan, TX    March 8, 2015

Kevin, Dave, Captain and I played SugarTree Golf Course in Lipan yesterday.  We had a ton of fun and it is a very nice course - the only issue is that it is 1.5 hours away from Coppell.

We had a couple of blog worthy moments.

The course was amazing - a lot of rolling hills, tight fairways and small greens.  Perfect for the circus!

The first fun moment occurred after our tee shots on the Par 3 Number 7 hole.  We had a little drizzle and the cart paths were wet.  The Jumbo package was driving in the number 25 Nascar Jumbo car.  Moments after leaving the tee box, the driver (Smitty) lost control on the wet surface and chaos ensued.   Fortunately, the rocks in the picture stopped the cart from rolling but the Captain ejected and his momentum carried him on a dead run all the way down the hill.

Here is a shot of the wounded #25 Cart:


If there is anyone who doesn't believe that the Jumbo package can be flexible, quick and nimble, they should have seen the eject from the cart.  Note the front drive wheel....it was close...

Funnier yet is the video that was shot after the mishap:

 
I have to end with a picture of Boom Boom Davie's drive on #8 - note the white tee markers in the foreground:
 
 
A great time was had by all.....until next time, drive safe out there laddies!

R.A.M. event? How did Capt's cigar fare? Seems like you were in need of the Mechanic!
